Researcher: Machine Learning for Text

Xerox Research Centre Europe is looking for an experienced researcher
for its Text Analytics area.

The successful candidate will create - in collaboration with the rest
of the team - novel machine learning algorithms for textual data, and
help integrate this research - with the help of our advanced
development lab - to our business units including healthcare,
litigation, customer care and finance.

We expect this research to be top-conference and journal material and
are looking for candidates that have a proven record of such
publications.

Minimum Qualifications:
   
- Ph.D. degree in machine learning or related area.

- At least 5 years' experience with algorithms for text
  processing. More senior candidates will also be considered.

- Strong development skills.

- Strong publication track record in major machine learning or NLP
  conferences and journals.

- Solid communication skills in English.

- Highly motivated by and interested in the impact of research in
  real-world applications.

Previous experience with interactive settings, for instance involving
sequential decision theory, online learning, non-stationary data,
dialogue and natural language generation, is highly desirable, as is
previous experience of government-funded projects.

Starting date

Around September 2015, but this is flexible
